Girls everywhere, but especially those in the Asian-American community, will find much to embrace here."-- Publishers Weekly, * "Lin does a remarkable job capturing the soul and spirit of books like those of Hayward or Maud Hart Lovelace, reimagining them through the lens of her own story, and transforming their special qualities into something new for today's young readers."-- Booklist, starred review
